Reston Community Center To Conduct Hearings

Reston area residents are invited to public hearings Saturday (Feb. 11) and
Wednesday to discuss the future of the Reston Community Center.

The
key issues, according to a letter sent to residents, "concern the
relative balance between the benefits the center affords its community
and the tax burden it imposes, and the extent of consensus among
various segments of Reston as to whether the current balance is
appropriate."

The community center is supported by
residents of Small Tax District No. 5. They pay an additional 5.2 cents
for each $100 of assessed value on real estate to fund the center. The
district includes Reston and some adjacent neighborhoods.

Other
issues under consideration are sources of funding, the tax rate,
boundaries of the tax district and the pricing of programs.

Written comments can be sent by e-mail to rccbog@fairfaxcounty.gov
. Individuals speaking at the meetings will be allotted two minutes;
speakers representing an organization will be allowed three minutes.

Saturday's
hearing is at 1 p.m. at the Hunters Woods center, 2310 Colts Neck Rd.
The Wednesday hearing is at 7 p.m. at the Lake Anne location, 1609-A
Washington Plaza. For more information, call 703-476-4500.
